Idioms are a part of our culture and communication.  Understanding them is crucial to knowing what a speaker means and being able to correctly use them adds entertainment and variety to content.  Through this lesson we will identify what idioms are and identify them in a fun way.  We will read "Amelia Bedilia" by Pessy Parish.  She is a maid who takes all instructions by her employers literally.  We will discuss each idiom individually, contrasting the meanings of the words with the meaning of the idiom.  I will also give the students an easy way to remember the definition of idiom.    There is no homework.  Learners are evaluated through speaking with the teacher and completing the classwork.
